'Too old to care': Seth Meyers has humorous take on Joe Biden mistakenly calling Marine One chopper 'Air Force Helicopter One'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: During a recent public appearance in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden made a verbal slip-up by seemingly referring to the Marine One helicopter as "Air Force Helicopter One."

Seth Meyers, the host of 'Late Night', humorously addressed the incident, suggesting that such mistakes might not be accidental but a result of a carefree attitude that comes with age.

Seth Meyers humorously labels Joe Biden's 'Air Force Helicopter One' slip-up 'an age thing'

"You know what? I don't even think that's a gaffe," chuckled Meyers during his late-night show, adding, "I think once you get to a certain age, you don't care what stuff is called anymore."

Drawing a parallel with relatable family experiences, he continued, "It's the same reason your dad calls 'Yellowstone' 'Yellow Ranch,' he doesn't care. He just gets as close as he can and then goes, 'Ah, you know what the hell?' 'I mean, the one with Beth Dutton.' Oh, he remembers her name."

The incident was met with humor rather than criticism by Meyers, emphasizing the human aspect of such mistakes, especially in the context of growing older.

Meyers' commentary, as always, balanced humor with a gentle nod to the universal experience of aging and forgetfulness.

Notably, at 81, Biden is currently the oldest president of the US and was also the oldest person to be elected president of the nation. 

Reactions flow in for Joe Biden's 'Air Force Helicopter One' gaffe

President Biden's recent misnaming of the Marine One helicopter as "Air Force Helicopter One" sparked various reactions, ranging from lighthearted jokes to serious concerns.

One wrote, "Biden’s verbal flubs don’t keep me up at night; the threat of losing our democracy does," with another adding, "I’m with Seth. After a certain age who cares what stuff is called."

"I'm actually disappointed its not air force helicopter one," quipped a viewer, while a person commented, "My grandfather calls this ‘Yellowshow”! At this point, no one bothers to correct him anymore, we just go with it."

"I don't know. "Air Force Helicopter One" sounds kinda cool," noted an individual. 

One stated, "I thought all aircraft containing the president used the air force one call sign."
